Smouha just returned to winning ways with a 1-0 result in their latest match, their first win of the season, which lifted the team up to 16th and makes this game offer more to look forward to than the standings suggest. As for Ghazl El Mehalla, they have yet to win a single game in the league, picking up only a point from a draw in five matches, sitting bottom of the table in 20th. The two teams come in with a similar condition in that both attacks are still struggling. Smouha have scored only 1 goal in five matches, while Ghazl El Mehalla have scored 1 but conceded as many as 9, so their defences are a different story altogether. Smouha have conceded only 4 and just kept a clean sheet in their latest match, while the visitors have been carved open throughout and lost by at least one goal in three of their last five matches. The pattern of play is therefore likely to see Smouha dominate possession and gradually push forward against a visiting side that drops deep to defend. The game may not be an open exchange from the start, but if the hosts score first, the game will flow even more in one direction, because the visitors, who have scored only one goal all season, will have to open up, which is exactly the situation Smouha are best at.
